Chamber Chairperson Ofra Strauss, Board, Chamber members and team send their deep condolences to

former Chamber Chair Chemi Peres, and the Peres and Waldan families on the passing of Shimon Peres,

the 9th president of the State of Israel.

Few people if any did as much to promote the Israel-US relationship in every aspect. The Chamber awarded Mr. Peres with its Life-time Achievement Award in 2015 recognizing his vast contribution to this effort.

The world will greatly miss Shimon Peres and his enormous contributions to peace, the economy, science and the well-being of all people.
May his soul rest in peace.
